Jaipur - The Pink City
Jaipur, India’s first planned city designed by Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, is renowned worldwide for its colored gems. This vibrant modern metropolis holds the distinction of being one of three corners in the golden triangle which includes Delhi, Agra, and itself. With a captivating mix of ancient history and metropolitan advantages, it attracts visitors from all over the world.
In 1876, Maharaja Ram Singh of Jaipur welcomed the Prince of Wales to India with a unique gesture – painting the entire city pink! This vibrant hue has become an iconic symbol of hospitality and creates a breathtaking spectacle against the backdrop of Nahargarh, Jaigarh, and Garh Ganesh Temple. Whether you’re visiting or just passing through, make sure to take in the majestic beauty that is Pink City: Jaipur.
Founded in 1727 by Raja Jai Singh II of Amber, Jaipur was established as a new capital due to the increasing population and water scarcity. Notable architect Vidyadhar Bhattacharya used the ancient principles of Vastu Shastra to construct this beautiful city.

AMBER PALACE
Located just 11 kilometers from Jaipur, Amber (pronounced Amer) is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was once the bastion of the Kachwahas of Amber until they moved their capital to what is today known as Jaipur. The palace in these craggy hills displays a stunning blend of Hindu and Mughal styles, making it an exquisite sight to behold. In 1592, Raja Man Singh I initiated the construction of a strong and secure palace to protect against enemies. Mirja Raja Jai Singh was responsible for completing the structure by an unknown date. The exterior is imposing while the interior is invitingly warm – it’s quite unexpected! The Amber Palace is a breathtaking sight to behold, made entirely of red sandstone and white marble with intricate carvings, precious stones, and mirrors. Situated on the shores of Maota Lake, it has been captivating visitors for nearly seven centuries with its legendary past. Originally won from the Meena tribes by Rajputs, this small structure was later transformed into an impressive palace that stands today as a symbol of grandeur.

NAHARGARH FORT
Built during the reign of Jai Singh in 1734, Nahargarh Fort stands proudly atop a ridge of the Aravalli Hills, providing an iconic northern backdrop to Jaipur. The fort was further expanded by Sawai Ram Singh I in 1868 and remains one of India’s most impressive monuments today. Nahargarh, meaning “abode of tigers,” was a formidable defense for Jaipur against its enemies. Within the walls of this fort lies Madhavendra Bhawan, which served as a summer retreat for members of the royal family. This historical site offers visitors an insight into Rajasthan’s rich culture and history. Built by Sawai Madho Singh, the palace is a favored spot for local picnickers and presents an impressive view when floodlit at night. It consists of 12 boudoirs for the queens with a separate suite for the king, all connected via corridors adorned with delicate murals. Overlooking Jaipur city, it offers a glittering sight of its lights in the evening sky.

HAWA MAHAL
Constructed in 1799 by the poet king Sawai Pratap Singh, Hawa Mahal – or “Palace of Winds” – was built as a summer retreat for him and his family. It also served as an observation point where members of the royal household could observe everyday life without being seen themselves. The Hawa Mahal is a stunning five-storey structure in Jaipur, blending Hindu and Islamic architecture. It features intricate latticed windows (called jharokhas) that resemble the crown of Lord Krishna and also serve as an air conditioner to keep the palace cool during summer months. This pink sandstone building has become an iconic landmark in Jaipur, with its full grandeur visible from across the road for visitors to admire. Today, the Mahal is maintained by the Archaeological Department of Rajasthan and boasts a stunning view from its windows. Moreover, it houses an archaeological museum in its courtyard for visitors to explore. Climb up to the top of this majestic palace for a breathtaking experience!
